I always thought the conventional wisdom was that games were somewhat cushioned from economic downturns because they are a relatively inexpensive form of entertainment and escape from the economic gloom.
Second, we've been lead to believe that
4E was selling well. Why the cuts to the RPG section then?
And third, I'm curious if these cuts were part of a general Hasbro workforce reduction and this was
WoTC trying to meet their cutback quota?
Finally, I can certainly understand where Monte is arguing from. I'm seeing a similar lack of appreciation for expertise in the organization that I work for and we're losing a large amount of expertise due to indifference as I see most of those around me losing their employment ... and we maintain and develop critical computer systems whose failure can mean losing lives. A lot of organizations simply fail to appreciate expertise and instead reduce everything down to a numbers game.
And yet another word from our sponsors
